So you're telling me not having barriers to vote is a bad thing? Having legal race-based discrimination on housing a bad thing too? Not having access to quality medical care or welfare benefits aren't beneficial? Affirmative active put more Black people in universities and jobs than any other point before the 60s. There's always going to be loopholes that white supremacists will abuse but the very fact we have these laws makes all Black people have access to the same opportunities as whites and removed the first barrier. Like I said it's better be eligible to play and lose then be barred from the game in the first place. Plus,
it's impossible for a separate ADOS economy to form. We live in an interconnected world and ADOS has to deal with non-ADOS to get resources. So those every other race and ethnicity. It's just the way it is and to think otherwise is delulu
Uhem...
The Voting Rights Act of '65 was restored after being taken away from ADOS/FBA after Reconstruction... because ADOS/FBA already had them following the Amendments postbellum. The feminist movement got started proper
after white women complained to white men about black men getting the right to vote in the mid-19th century, some of this information can be found in:
All Bound Up Together: The Woman Question in African American Public Culture, 1830-1900 which is thematically similar to the second feminist movement that started during the CRM: white women recruiting black women to point the finger at black men on behalf of white supremacy. The enforcement of the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling disenfranchised black people
after they were already receiving legislation for full participation during... Reconstruction... because there was civil rights legislation back in 1866 for ADOS/FBAs.
During this time... pre-60s CRM... black people had their own hospitals and were developing their own infrastructure, some of this information can be found in:
Making a Place for Ourselves: The Black Hospital Movement, 1920-1945. HBCUs predate 1968, and as a matter of fact MLK, Jr. started out at one then graduated from Boston University, in addition to other famous people of African-American culture. You can't throw affirmative action in my face like black people weren't already going to school or had education programs and grants set up for them. Affirmative action
further integrated universities but it was not the whole cause for putting black people in universities. It was Nixon, a republican who did what Johnson wouldn't and enforced complete desegregation if you wanna go there.
Talking about jobs, black people were building their own economy to employ themselves and each other. One industry was insurance, another was real estate. How do you think Harlem became black? That wasn't just block busting, there were black realtors with their own companies handling those transactions as well. LBJ knew and feared this that is why he integrated, for the sake of "saving the country" during arguably the height of the Cold War. Besides, a segregated country wasn't doing the United States any favors during the Vietnam war... a Cold War conflict... a war MLK, Jr. publicly lashed the government over.
All's to say, LBJ knew where ADOS/FBAs were headed if they kept their momentum at the time - they wouldn't need welfare benefits, especially after the New Deal. They wouldn't need to integrate because they would have had their own. Elijah Muhammad knew this, which is why he was so dedicated to black people
developing what they already had. But if white supremacy is as cold as ice, I guess their ice is colder. LBJ found out Plessy v. Ferguson allowed black people to develop a competing economy, he only found out
after studying the riots. LBJ realized the racial barrier was going to hurt white supremacy in the long run because the black economy was still developing. It was predicted if something weren't done black people were going to be damn-near independent of them by the late 80s. ADOS/FBA socially advanced after LBJ, his Great Society programs and the controversy they caused within the legislature economically crippled ADOS/FBA due to how legislation can be protracted and have effects over generations.
It doesn't take long to argue history, it can take generations to argue the law.
As for the bolded, I can see you ain't done any kind of substantive research on this topic and you just wanna big up a white man for double counting certain demographics. Read this book before you quote me again:
